Plastic Components & Modules

Dashboard and centre consoles

Over time, the constantly evolving interior ergonomics, the desire to live in an environment featuring different colours and tactile feelings, the need for compartments and containers capable of improving the usefulness of the vehicle's interior space have expanded the technological needs and the resulting potential solutions offered to the Customer.

Bumpers

Over the years, the bumper has changed from a simple element of protection into a crucial part in style definition and characterization, as well as an important component of improved safety in case of collisions with pedestrians.

In time, this has led to significantly bigger bumpers and to the related completion in the sides of the automobile.

It is the first and last thing that one sees in a vehicle.

Fuel System

Historically, there has been a gradual shift from metal fuel tanks to plastic ones, with the consequent optimisation of available space in the underbody thanks to the excellent formability of the new material, thus increasing system capacity to the full advantage of better vehicle autonomy.

Other benefits offered by thermoplastic materials include weight reduction, elimination of the risk of sparks and explosions as well as of the corrosion problem typical of the versions made in sheet metal
